The Boiler Upgrade Scheme can reduce the upfront cost of an eligible air-to-water heat pump. The amount depends on the property’s gas-grid status and the heating fuel being replaced—not simply its postcode.

Two grant routes, clearly explained

Standard support£7,500

Towards an eligible air source heat pump for qualifying properties under the standard Boiler Upgrade Scheme route.

Enhanced off-grid support£9,000

For qualifying off-gas-grid homes replacing an oil or LPG heating system, available until 31 March 2027.

Eligibility depends on the home and existing fuel

For the enhanced route, the property must meet the current off-gas-grid requirements and the heating system being replaced must use oil or LPG. The property must not be connected to a heat network, and new-build properties do not qualify for this enhanced route.

A capped or clamped gas meter can still mean a property is treated as mains-gas fuelled. Final eligibility is confirmed through the official Boiler Upgrade Scheme process, and support remains subject to the live scheme rules, property and technology eligibility, funding availability and Ofgem approval.

An installer-led route, managed from assessment to handover

SwiftHeat UK Group Ltd begins with the home: heat loss, emitters, hot-water demand, available space, electrical requirements and the proposed outdoor-unit location. We then explain the suitable system and grant route in plain English and coordinate the application through the appropriate MCS-certified installation process.

Once all eligibility checks are approved and your quotation is accepted, SwiftHeat UK Group Ltd installs, tests and commissions your new air source heat pump and provides a clear handover. We manage the entire process for a seamless integration into a cleaner, lower-carbon heating system for your home.

Check the live rules before making a decision. Grant values and eligibility can change. Read the current Ofgem Boiler Upgrade Scheme guidance for property owners, or ask SwiftHeat UK Group Ltd to explain the likely route for your property.
A heat pump needs a properly matched system.

The right outcome depends on more than the outdoor unit. Our assessment considers the complete heating system so that equipment, emitters, controls and hot water work together as intended.
